There's something wrong with me

Chapter 209 A New World: Change and Redemption

Open your eyes.

This is a four-person dormitory room at a university.

Outside the window, which is during the day, came the sounds of students talking.

After scanning around and seeing that there was no danger, Zhang Feng first looked at his own information and memories.

【Age: 21】

[Physique: 15]

【Root bone: 6.6】

[Martial Arts: 6.8]

[Spiritual Roots: 6.5]

After reading the information, Zhang Feng realized that he was just an ordinary third-year student at an ordinary university.

The world setting is similar to the pre-supernatural modern world.

There are no extraordinary training methods.

Furthermore, in my existing memories, there was no advanced technology.

So, given that the imperial court made no attempt to conceal any technological advancements, how did this world reach level seven?

While Zhang Feng was pondering, he also looked at the information in the world of words.

[Resurrection Chance: 5]

[Adventure Level: 7]

[Adventure Genre: Growth, Survival, Freedom, Disaster]

[Note: New enhancement options will be available for each year of survival, up to a maximum of 22 times.]

[Identity: Third-year university student]

Main Quest: Survive for Thirty Years

[Note 1: You have already completed multiple timeline missions]

[Note 2: In the previous timeline, you were able to stop the town from becoming haunted and saved 1,200 people.]

[Note 3: You are now a qualified adventurer]

[Non-main quest: At the current pace, a global catastrophe will strike around thirty years from now. You need to ensure the survival of one million humans and perpetuate the seeds of civilization in this world.]

[Note 4: In disaster-themed worlds, completing both main and non-main quests will grant a boost to Fate-related affixes.]

……

From saving a small town? Now it's about saving civilization?

Zhang Feng found it unbelievable, and felt that something was wrong.

It's like learning 1+1 and then having to build a bomb.

But thinking about it carefully, that ghost seems to be at the city level.

Furthermore, the zombie and wasteland world is also a global catastrophe.

Especially in the previous Golden Core world, the national advisor there could roam the world with impunity.

In other words, the threshold for disaster and force has already reached 'world-class' levels.

So as long as I can keep up with the pace, I should also be able to take on world-class tasks.

This time it's 'rescue'.

Then, Zhang Feng focused on the text and carefully examined the final 'Fate Enhancement Annotation'.

'Completing two tasks grants a fate attribute bonus? Is this also a disguised time-reversal task?'

Zhang Feng never expected that he could receive a fate bonus in a normal adventure world, in a world that does not belong to the 'past timeline'?

Or perhaps it's more accurate to say that most of my past missions were 'practice in the past timeline,' and as long as I held out for a certain period of time, I would receive external assistance.

But ever since he completed his 'ghostly destiny' alone ahead of time last time, things seem to have completely changed.

Today, we live in a world of 'instantaneity,' a timeline of 'what is happening'.

Besides, I can return to this adventure world in the future, unlike the past world which is gone once I leave.

From both a moral and logical standpoint, we should try to prevent the disaster.

But this world lacks spiritual energy.

Technology is just like the reality before it was created.

So what exactly is the disaster?
Is it the arrival of an extraterrestrial civilization? Or a natural disaster? Or perhaps the resurgence of ancient demons?

Zhang Feng pondered and felt that the latter was most likely impossible, because there was no trace of spiritual energy.

As for the 'arrival of extraterrestrial civilizations,' the kind of civilization that can 'cross star systems' and send warships, that's way too far-fetched.

With the current limited capabilities of the global human population, if they were to actually come, we wouldn't be able to stop them at all.

Theoretically speaking, it absolutely does not meet the standard of level 7.

What remains are the possibility of war, natural disasters, or even some kind of super experiment or the birth of some super monster.

Or, to put it in more sci-fi terms, something like a biohazard resurgence, or a small group of 'blood warriors and aliens' crashing to Earth.

But these figures don't necessarily mean that 'they ensured the survival of millions and the continuation of the seeds of civilization'.

This non-main storyline sounds like a devastating disaster.

Zombies and aliens are, after all, carbon-based life forms. From a normal perspective, as long as it's not an instantaneous outburst, there's nothing to worry about.

Unless it's a more powerful individual or group, or a natural disaster, that kind of 'wide-ranging attack', something bad might be going to happen.

In conclusion.

Zhang Feng leans towards all three.

First, an exceptionally strong individual.

Second, natural disasters.

Third, the war that claimed the lifespan of heaven and earth.

Think of this.

Zhang Feng walked to his bedside, turned on his computer, and went online to search for information.

With a quick glance, Zhang Feng noticed that the various dynasties in this world were very peaceful and were promoting trade, even giving the impression of forming a 'Earth Alliance'.

Because the world is engaged in large-scale global industry, the environment is affected by this industry, resulting in more natural disasters.

Hurricanes and floods are common occurrences.

Amid these frequent disasters, and with the appeals of the public and people from all walks of life, countries are slowly uniting and trying to restore nature.

All right.

Based on this one piece of information alone, there's no need to look at any other speculations.

Through these frequent disasters, Zhang Feng realized that in today's world, "it's too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost."

Although things seem normal now, the occasional disasters are similar to usual and are still within control.

But there must have been a button that triggered a countdown switch for something like 'the planet restarting a new era'.

Since the written record describes a civilization-level catastrophe, and given their current level of development, destruction thirty years from now is inevitable.

After learning about this situation.

With the goal of preventing the disaster, Zhang Feng looked towards the first enhancement.

【1: Primary Redemption】

【2: Extension】

【3: Growth Elements】

Redemption: An Epic, An Epic

[Effect 1: For every million people you save, your constitution in this world increases by 0.1]

[Effect 2: Bones +1, Martial Arts +1]

Upon seeing this option, Zhang Feng felt that this should be a term related to 'follow-up'.

If you consider this world as your 'main world' and come back here every time you return, then you can try to upgrade your physique.

It's like you ultimately saved a billion people, that's 100 bodies.

With their existing training, they can reach even higher physical standards.

But reality clearly provides more knowledge and a more complete development.

And in most cases, Earth is our home.

No matter how powerful other worlds may be, in Zhang Feng's view, they will ultimately benefit reality, improve the lives of all people, and eventually reach the interstellar immortal empire.

However, when you see these kinds of entries.

Zhang Feng also knew that this was considered 'tutoring'.

For example, if one is hiding in reality and not making much progress in other worlds, coupled with a low physical constitution.

So 100 is a lot, and it can be used to predict a lot of the future.

Of course, this is on the premise that so many people were saved.

Or perhaps, the disaster happens right from the start, like in some fantasy world where a powerful demon is about to slaughter a super city with hundreds of millions of people.

If my strength happens to meet the standard and I can stop it, then I can take dozens of physiques.

In conclusion, Zhang Feng concluded that this entry, while seemingly good, is actually not cost-effective.

Look at 2 again
[Further Exploitation: Epic, Rare, and Rule-Based Assists]

[Effect: Suppresses the occurrence of the disaster, delaying it by one hour]

'Rule terms?'

This was the first time Zhang Feng had seen this type of term.

But if you think about it carefully, terms like "yin-yang eyes" also follow this rule.

As for an hour, forget it.

Given the current situation, there should be a 30-year planning period before the disaster occurs.

Thirty years of preparation time is enough to save those who can be saved. It's not like a movie where thirty years isn't enough for global preparation; it's just one hour short.

According to their own planning department and natural disaster emergency response department, even without quantum computers, they are absolutely capable of coming up with various contingency plans in a short period of time as long as a disaster is identified.

Individuals may face life-or-death situations where they are separated by just a few seconds.

But the collective wisdom of humanity worldwide is no joke.

If thirty years isn't enough, and it's just one hour short, that's just too damn ridiculous.

This is completely illogical and an insult to the intelligence of humanity worldwide.

Units such as the planning department and development department have a strong ability to coordinate and manage the overall situation.

If we weren't strong, the world wouldn't be what it is today.

Without effective organization, human civilization, while still developing agriculture, will find it difficult to reach the level of modern technology.

For fields like aerospace, medicine, and the internet, how can individuals conduct research?

Of course, I'm an exception.

He himself could already create superconductivity and Z1 by hand, but this was based on Chen Tiancai's theoretical and research practice, which combined global resources. Now that the world has reached a normal level of technology, there are subtle signs of global cooperation.

This proves that planning departments around the world are not stupid.

Zhang Feng's assessment is that it's necessary to seek cooperation from all parties and first identify the specific location of the disaster.

As for how to get them to pay attention to you, it's quite simple.

Once the direct superconductivity theory and the Z1 theory are put into practice and physically realized, then the rest is up to fate.

Anyway, I don't have any more clues to test now, so the '5 lives' really just 5 'trials and errors'.

It's always better to try it sooner rather than later.

Through these entries, Zhang Feng was able to organize his own insights.

Furthermore, being in another world, one can infer whether these people are stupid based on the current progress of the times.

Finally, let's look at the third enhancement.

[Growth Elements: Epic, Epic]

[Effect 1: Martial Arts +2, Spiritual Root +2]

[Effect 2: For each year of survival, spiritual root increases by 0.2]

That's it.

With the amplification of spiritual roots, once the Golden Core is completed, it will be just in time to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

In the real world, his Nascent Soul stage has reached 52%.

After the Golden Core stage is achieved, let's stack it up again and see if we can reach around 70%.

In a world devoid of spiritual energy.

Zhang Feng was also able to reach the Golden Core Perfection stage within twenty years.

After some thought, I chose the remaining two options: [Root Bone +0.2].

[Lightning Spirit Root +0.2]

In addition to the previous 'lifespan cap of 330 years,' there are also 'lifespan caps of 550 years' and 'lifespan caps of 770 years', there are three enhancements.

It appeared within the Golden Core world.

It's an additional enhancement to the previous lifespan limit.

Zhang Feng selected all character attributes: +0.3 to spiritual root, and +0.3 to martial arts and physical constitution.

Therefore, their talent rating has now stabilized at 6.5 or higher.

Even if all the characters that arrive are 0, it's still 6.5.

This ensures that one has high talent and a high cultivation bonus.

Otherwise, if we follow the initial three zeros, even if I eventually reach the Golden Core stage, I will still be able to achieve perfection.

But it will definitely take much longer.

Zhang Fengyue estimated that it would take nearly fifty years.

His exceptional talent has saved him a significant amount of training time.

If your talent reaches level 10, then theoretically you can cultivate at double the speed.

However, having knowledge yourself will actually make you more valuable in practice.

For example, the earliest version of myself in the trial world had no foundation or knowledge whatsoever.

Even if I got three 10s, had cultivation techniques, and that world had spiritual energy, I would probably never be able to achieve the Golden Core stage, even until I die.

Even if they don't die, and slowly come to their senses, even if the whole world comes together to comprehend it, it would probably take more than a hundred years.

But if I were to achieve a perfect score of 10 and possess spiritual energy, then it would only take ten years.

Furthermore, Zhang Feng was also pondering whether he could directly condense a golden core in a shorter time and with a lower physique.

Zhang Feng has now calculated that the minimum physical condition required to condense a Golden Core is 490.

It was this kind of 'optimization' that made Zhang Feng realize that the Golden Core could also be treated as a skill level.

However, it is more difficult if your physical condition is poor.

It is ultimately a kind of high-latitude talisman.

It requires a certain underlying structural framework to support it.

Zhang Feng is currently working continuously to optimize the minimum architecture and analyze the Golden Core.

The topic of the Three-Part Return to Origin Qi was also perfected within this concept.

Because they are all related to the balance of 'vital energy' and 'spirit'.

In the framework of 'forming the Golden Core as soon as possible', essence is the lowest physical constitution, qi is the lowest spiritual energy, and spirit is the final Golden Core.

Zhang Feng still likes to draw parallels and connect problems together, so that when studying certain topics, everyone can make progress together, learning from others' experiences.

……

One hour.

The table was covered with empty food bags.

Zhang Feng has already overclocked to 100%, and his constitution has reached 35.

In the absence of spiritual energy, visualization transformed into spiritual thought, and with the support of his physical constitution, he opened a second path, enabling him to multitask.

Distracted.

Zhang Feng had filled three notebooks with his work, writing out the superconductivity theory and the Z1 theory in detail.

It also includes a detailed production process.

Buzz —

The next second, Zhang Feng finished writing and was checking his work.

The phone on the table rang; it was my roommate calling.

Zhang Feng didn't answer, because in his memory, he was a rather honest person, and he was always sullen.

Then I'll just continue to maintain my current persona in front of these roommates.

In normal life, once you graduate, everyone basically has their own circle of friends.

Even if there is a class reunion, it will most likely be a show-off event.

And at present.

Having already figured out superconductivity myself, and solved this major global scientific problem in just one hour, I had no time to attend a class reunion.

Even if they attend a meeting, it's the 'Global Parliament of the Earth Self-Salvation Alliance'.

However, the phone kept ringing.

This roommate keeps hitting.

Seeing that he seemed to have something to do, and remembering that he was still a student, Zhang Feng answered the call.

After all, I still need to contact the authorities, and they will definitely need to check my information.

Such outrageous behavior could easily trigger bizarre speculations about whether one has been possessed or is being carried by someone from the future.

Otherwise, normal people cannot explain why they were just ordinary people a few hours ago, but then solved a series of world-class problems a few hours later.

"Hey."

When Zhang Feng got through, he felt that sometimes trying to logically connect with the authorities was actually quite difficult.

Especially now that I've only enabled 100% overclocking.

If we were to use our current strength to confront a major power, we would have to gamble with our chance of resurrection.

"Zhang Feng, where are you?"

Little did his roommate know that the once taciturn Zhang Feng had now solved a world-class problem.

On the contrary, he honestly said, "Our counselor took attendance this morning, and you weren't there."

We told you you were sick, but the bald counselor didn't believe us.

I'm in the big office on the third floor of the teaching building right now. Baldy wants you to come over and explain why you skipped class.

As he said this, he whispered again, "Zhang Feng, you truly deserve to be fifth in our class. I can tell that Baldy cares about you a lot."

But if it were us skipping class, Baldy would have already called and berated us, not asked me to "treat" him privately.

"Okay, I studied it this morning and have already finished writing the theory. I'll go right away."

Zhang Feng didn't say anything, but thought that perhaps he could use the school as a medium to try to extend the reach upwards.

So I brought a few of my notebooks with me on the way.

The honors of superconductivity and Z1 are so great that it wouldn't hurt to give one to the school.

Because I was all alone, I received a lot of scholarships and other support from the school.

In addition, I consider myself a top student, and my advisor treats me well.

But if they don't believe in their own superconductivity theory, then just call the police.

We can get in touch with them quickly, but the school won't get any credit.

Zhang Feng had a good impression of the 'bald counselor'.

He is good at math, but he is not very old, only in his thirties.

I estimate that if I persevere for a few more years, learn some more, participate in and publish some research results, I can become a university professor in my forties.

The professor, who was in his forties, was already quite intelligent; he had grasped the basics of mathematics within the written language.

Their own data center has a minimum recruitment requirement of 'intermediate level' and the ability to publish world-class papers.

But you can't compare people; the bald counselor is already very smart.

Of course, some students would see him as a meddlesome busybody.

……

I walked through the campus and arrived at the main office.

This isn't the kind of private room that university professors and school leaders would have; it's more like a high school, where many counselors gather together.

Ta-ta-ta—

Zhang Feng knocked on the door, and after hearing the word "come in" from inside, he pushed the door open and went in.

At first glance, it appears to be an office for ten people.

There are eight teachers here now, with the bald counselor sitting on the left.

Standing next to him was a student, his roommate who had called him.

"Zhang Feng." When the instructor saw Zhang Feng coming over, he focused on Zhang Feng's expression.

After seeing that Zhang Feng did not appear pale or anything like that.

He felt relieved, knowing that he wasn't sick.

But then, thinking of Zhang Feng's unexplained absence from class, without even leaving a message, he became somewhat angry and said:

"Zhang Feng! Do you know that Professor Lin is a famous mathematics expert in our province?"

The school finally managed to invite him here today, and he gave a lecture to our class.

How could you just skip class like that?
